dc.description.abstractLand use transformation in the suburbs seems to be growing at a fast rate, this has become rampant in the Nigerian city suburbs over the years. Transforming the existing land use in the suburb, the transformation has an impact on environmental quality in the suburb which this research assessed. Two suburbs of Ilorin (Ganmo and Eyenkorin) were specifically selected as the case study. The growth of Ilorin over the years is unprecedented while Ganmo and Eyenkorin are the closest suburb with evidence of land use transformation. A simple random sampling method was used for questionnaire administration to 366 respondents. Likert scale rating was employed to examine the opinion of respondents on factors responsible for the lack of control of land use transformation and the impact of land use transformation on environmental quality in the suburb. The study revealed that four variables are accountable for the lack of control of land use transformation and political influence and corruption having the highest Resident Agreed Index of (RAI 4.44) while the findings on the impact on environmental quality revealed that uncontrolled land development has influence in six areas with haphazard physical growth having the highest RAI of 4.55. The study concludes that the lack of land use transformation control significantly contributes to poor environmental quality in the suburbs of Nigerian cities. Therefore, the study suggests that all stakeholders in land use management, especially the Town Planning Authority should be allowed to carry out their functions without the interference of political class for better environmental quality.
